Peace EducationTheU.S. Institute of Peace works to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict around the world by engaging directly in conflict zones and by providing analysis, education, and resources to those working for peace. Created by Congress in 1984 as an independent, nonpartisan, federally funded organization, USIP’s staff works at the Institute’s DC headquarters and on the ground in the world’s most dangerous regions. The public education program at the U.S. Institute of Peace provides K-12 students and teachers with resources on international conflict management and peace-building. USIP offers American educators a number of resources to bring global peace-building to life in the classroom, all of which are available for free on our website. www.usip.org/www.usip.org/public-education/peacebuilding-toolkit-educators​******************************************************************************************
